It is apt that an organisation that has become a purveyor of lies should respond to that charge by producing yet more lies. And that is precisely what Associated Press have done today, in their faux eulogy of "Green Helmet", picked up by Little Green Footballs, amongst others
The picture produced with the story, itself is a lie. Divested of his trade-mark green helmet, and orange high-visibility waistcoat, Salam Daher, as we now know him, is shown with blue helmet and flack jacket. This, as any observer of the scene will know, is the garb adopted by media personnel in the field, which makes it highly probable that "Green Helmet" has been loaned the gear for yet another staged shot by an AP photographer.
Read the rest. It's a truly heroic effort.
